The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 242

The document clearly stated the name of the court and the summons number. One look was all it took to know this was an authentic court summons, not some sick prank.

Not just Adrian, but the rest of the Lowell family felt their faces drain of color.

How could they have ever imagined that Jocelyn would send a court summons straight to Oakhaven Estates, filing for a litigated divorce?

This meant Jocelyn was ready to completely burn her bridges with the Lowell family.

It also meant every ugly secret the Lowell family harbored would be dragged out into the public eye.

What was supposed to be a joyous occasion was utterly ruined by a single piece of paper. Everyone, including Caleb Preston, was instantly put in a foul mood.

Michelle was the first to panic.

"Mom, what do we do? Didn't that woman sign the agreement? We agreed to give her five hundred million! Wasn't this all settled? Pulling a stunt like this clearly means she wants to take us down with her!"

Grandma Lowell shot her a harsh glare.

"Why are you panicking? With so many people here, do you want everyone to see us as a laughingstock? Calm down! We will put this aside for now. The most important thing today is to finish celebrating Leo's one-month party properly!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Caleb Preston's eyes.

"She specifically chose today to deliver this summons because she wants to make us miserable and ruin Leo's party. We cannot fall into that bitch's trap. Everyone, pretend nothing happened. We will discuss our next steps after the party is over."

Adrian crushed the summons into a tight ball in his fist.

Jocelyn!

You've really outdone yourself!

The Lowell family's one-month celebration eventually concluded amidst forced laughter and cheerful chatter.

Once the last guest was seen off and the front doors were closed, the smiles vanished from every Lowell family member's face.

Michelle had been pacing with anxiety the entire time.

"Mom, if this really goes to court, we won't be able to hide anything. The Lowell family's reputation will be dragged through the mud! Adrian just won the Outstanding Young Entrepreneur Award! What are we going to do?"

Grandma Lowell finally snapped.

"Can you just be quiet?! All you do is scream the moment something goes wrong! Use the brain God gave you for once!"

Michelle shrank back in fear, not daring to make another sound.
